Since i started out with gundam models almost 2 years before macross toys obsession kicked in, up till now models expenditure far exceeds toys. Although 1/48's are a lot more expensive than MG's, the PG's can match them one for one in both cost and numbers in time to come, depending on how fast bandai keeps up with PG's production. Meanwhile i'm trying (very hard) to keep up with both toys and models .
Actually i intend to use a room exclusively for my anime madness, when i can buy my own flat. I kept all boxes nicely (esp MGs) so that in future i can display them on shelves in the room, together with cabinets full of mechas. A room i can walk in to relax and dream...
I don't think i will be ditching any of my collection unless i am in desperate need of money. My collection will stay and continue to flourish, for now...
Yes 1/48, found it on their website about a week ago, same price as the non-fp version, unfortunately i think the fp-version just sold out. I'm not sure if the sale is exclusive on-line, which is why you never saw it in stores.
